Using the Checklist Editor

Editor vs. Checklist Text Custom Field

The Editor and the Checklist Text field function similarly with important difference.

If the Enable multiple checklists per issue global setting is enabled then an issue can have more than one checklist. The Checklist Text field will hold the content of all the checklists on the issue. Therefore, the formatting of the Checklist Text field contains the name of the checklist.

In contrast, the checklist editor is associate with an individual checklist on the issue, and does not show the name of the checklist.
